Lua error when skinning Blizzard's collection interface with ElvUI (while also using Rarity)
Closed this issue · 2 comments
I encountered an error with ElvUI related to Rarity. To diagnose this, I systematically reverted each ElvUI skin until the issue disappeared when I reached the Collections interface. Upon reapplying the skin to Collections, I began disabling addons. Removing Rarity resolved the error, although it's odd that the base UI doesn't trigger the same error when ElvUI is disabled. I can share the error message from ElvUI if it might be useful.

This isn't a Rarity issue, there is a fix in the dev build of Elvui for the collection journal skin. https://api.tukui.org/v1/download/dev/elvui/main
